The Five States of Mind

Exploring the conscious, subconscious, subsubconscious, superconscious and subsuperconscious- the interrelated states of our existence

Sivaya Subramuniyaswami

Popular thought prevalent today is that we
have an external mind to be shunned and an
inner being to be reached. I look at the internal
areas of the mind and the external areas of
the mind as being one and the same, an integrated whole, one totality of mind. The inner universe of the mind is
tremendous. It is much larger, more complex and better
organized than any of the universes we can see with
our physical eyes. The superconscious areas of mind deep
within each of us are more advanced than the externalities
of the material conscious world.
